Test: Soöruz Guru surf shoe
The French water sports brand Soöruz offers the Guru Split Toe surf shoe model for winter - we were able to try it out.

The Guru model is particularly impressive thanks to its good features: plush up to the toes and the soft sole ensure outstanding comfort, while the soft finish on the shaft makes it easy to put on. Thanks to the glued-on elastic on the instep and the separated big toe on the inside, the shoe sits snugly on the foot even without a Velcro strap. The seams are perfectly sealed: Water ingress? Not a chance! In comparison, the shoe is slightly larger than stated.

Technical data:

  • Neoprene thickness: 5 mm
  • Sizes: 5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12
  • Price: 69,00 Euro
  • Info: To the website

Conclusion:

Despite "only" 5mm neoprene thickness, the Soöruz Guru achieves surprisingly good thermal insulation, the comfort zone only ends at 4-6 degrees water temperature. The features and wearing comfort are impressive across the board.
